JBWeld for thread repair? Never tried it. How does it hold up?
According to JB, quite well.
Some of the other 'liquid metals' also claim to be suitable for drilling and tapping.
The slow setting JB, as opposed to JB Quick, would be most suited due to its higher strength from slower curing/setting.

Not where I live. I've never seen another one like it in Canada. Not much on Ebay.
What was that you said recently about your quote feature abilities, ZM???

These are a bit of a cult bike in a few places, kinda like a G/S is , hold their value well, and are not a commonly parted out in Oz
All the engine and most other parts are readily available, at sensible prices, ($100- piston and rings, $190- crankpin , bearing and rod, $80- for a complete clutch) so it is possible and practical to rebuild them as an everyday ride.
They are a pleasant enough little bike, for their intended use - I have knobbies on mine and it goes into the mud/sand where I dont take the airheads with their 80/20 road type tires.

It took me a while to realize you weren't asking about the thread on your airhead. I was going to head out to the garage to check a partially disassembled engine to see if the threads had a hollow section before the threads - which I thought I remembered they didn't.
I will check tomorrow when I get to work. I think my 6mm helicoil kit has a pretty long tap supplied with it. If that is the case, I would be happy to mail it to you for your repair. There's a lot going on at the shop right now, so feel free to remind me if it seems I have forgotten to check.

That was the reason for my flippant response.
I'm reading this post, and trying to imagine a Type 247 block, until I finally click on the link...
The original post is always supposed to have the
Year, Make And Model. ESPECIALLY when you throw a non-airhead BMW into the mix.
please

Since the link reads: yamahapartsnation.com, I had no such problems and knew he was talking about his recently mentioned 650 even before I clicked the link. Actually, now that I think about it, I knew it wasn't an airhead when I read the first sentence: "I have a stripped case thread, one of three bolts that hold an oil filter cover that seals with an O ring." So, I was already looking to see if it was the Yamaha or the "Shitzuki."

Does not a 247 oil filter cover fasten with three "bolts" and seal with a [$2000] o-ring?
I didn't look at the link, I will admit, and I didn't read the thread or post where he recently mentioned the bike.
